back to hope

After a glorious whinefest yesterday and last night about my hip, I'm back to action today.

Sitting yesterday at the office brought my pain back to excruciating levels, so today I called my doctor and talked with my boss and am working from home for the rest of the week. All afternoon I've been lying down on the sofa with a lap desk and I've gotten more work done in 4 hours than I have in many entire weeks. No interruptions is a very good thing.

I'm determined to do eveyrthing I can possibly do--which means doing a LOT of lying around and very little walking, and all of that with crutches. And I'm also upping my Shakeology to twice a day, because all that awesome nutrition and the protein has to help. I'm pretty concerned that my pain is much worse than it was with the stress fracture in the other hip, and it's also more widespread--it's lower back, hip, and glute--and therefore I'm not taking any chances.

Right now I'm focused on the thought that 5 days largely off my feet will mean HUGE improvement, and that this will all be over in no time.
